couple heart play
You play a couple of shows, and these label guys come - and they leave halfway through a show. Then the phone calls just stop. And your heart is broken.
growing-up thinking car
I think sitting in the car with your parents and listening to music is an essential to growing up.
ideas people trying
The idea of trying to predict what people will or won't respond to is risky.
guy finding-yourself musical
I'm mostly a keep-to-myself kind of guy, but you slowly find yourself getting folded into the musical tapestry.
artist people trying
It's like half the campaign of selling a record is trying to convince people that you're an artist. Well, I am an artist. This is what I do.
sleep thinking honest
Music is really everything I know. To be honest every experience I've ever had has been brought up from music and everything I do is because of music. I don't know anything else, I think about music before I go to sleep and it just really is everything that I am.
guitar
I'm learning on the guitar all the time.
writing kind notepads
I was never a 'sit down with a notepad and write lyrics' kind of person.
home college men
I never was the front man in any bands I played in when I was in college, and I always learned music by myself at home.
song dark might
I feel the reasons my songs might seem dark is because of how I viewed the situations I was in and it was just something I always felt like documenting.
records firsts easy
My favorite records are not easy - they're not records that reveal everything to you the first time out.
coffee nuts traveled
I've traveled quite a lot and become a coffee nut.
ambitious want mediocre
I'm very ambitious, musically - I want to create great things, not mediocre work.
song writing emotional
I write songs on a course of time that's comfortable for me. I would probably never write a song from start to finish in the course of a day, hell probably not even a week. My mind is always going to change and my emotional state will also change on a daily basis.
